I just thought I’d do a little post on this as a few people were asking how it was. It was obviously amazing…but there were peaks and troughs of feelings throughout and an annoying inability to completely relax. For those who don’t know, Ross and I have just come back from two child free weeks in Bali – sorry to keep barking on about it I don’t mean to rub
While I was in Bali I met up with my friend Prue – yes she lives there the lucky thing! She is the amazing creative behind my Bikinis and Bibs logo. We had a fun day at Alila Uluwatu shooting her Balinese kaftan collection for her kaftan brand Gypsy Thing, here are the results – some serious pouting and posing from me which cracked me up after each photo but how
We have just been lucky enough to take, what feels like, a sabbatical from our two year old son. The destination was the island of Bali in south east asia and we were hosted by the luxurious boutique hotel group Alila Hotels and Resorts. T-rex was conceived in Bali and so it was quite poignant that we were able to make our first long haul ‘parent escape’ back to this
Just a quick little post and some pics on this cute area in Singapore. If you want a bit of 1930’s Asia, art deco architecture, cool cafes and bookshops plus a colonial style bar, then come to Tiong Bahru. I’m not saying it’s outstanding – it’s a quiet residential area but for me it’s a reminder of the old Singapore that I grew up in. It has enough to keep
It hasn’t ever really been on my agenda to give advice on this blog, I’m more about ideas on stylish accommodation and fashion. When it comes to holidaying with kids, I am a big believer in just giving it a go and learning what works for you. Recently, however, I have had a few people ask me for tips on how we have gone about our travels with T-Rex. I am
There are two VIPs (very important pigs) down in Hampshire. One has its very own theme park and is of large pink cartoon proportions – yes that’s you Peppa Pig World. The other is a country hotel – The Pig – serving up delicious food to tired guests who might have spent the day visiting our wonderful Peppa. Friendly Hampshire Pig Sometimes you just have to do things that will make your kids happy. I was dreading
A couple of months ago, The Spa at Bedford Lodge Hotel in Suffolk invited me to spend a day trying out their facilities and a couple of their spa treatments. It was a hard decision but I obliged. Can I just say I LOVE SPAS!!! I know everyone does but I think I am obsessed. I have been told my bathroom looks like a spa – it did before a token
One of the things I like most about Mallorca is its amazing beaches. Some of them are like being in the Caribbean – clear, flat, turquoise waters and bright white soft sand. They are perfect for kids of all ages but especially good if you have toddlers and babies. Here are five that I loved in south Mallorca. Cala Mondrago – The Small Bay One of two amazing beaches in the
Hi Mummies – I have created a hashtag on Instagram! I know, check me getting down with the social media kids. I thought it was about time I created a place for you to share your beautiful holiday pics of you with your minis. Whether you are in a cool hotel, on the beach or just being your usual stylish self on holiday, make sure you hashtag photos of you and your mini with
If Ibiza was all about luxury villas and beautiful beach hangouts then Mallorca was about finding rustic charm and places to relax with kids. We have just come back from five weeks in Ses Salines in the south east of the island. I have to say I was completely wowed by this area, it is small, pretty and has stunning beaches which happen to be perfect for kids. This time
